answer believing best both court goes guess hear hearing moments people sensitive side today tough
You hear it anyway, ... And I guess for a sensitive person, it goes to you at some point, when you are still hearing the same things. But the best answer I can give is on the court and that is what we both did today because Mary, also got some tough moments on her side and people not really believing her being able to come back at that level. This is the best answer we can give to anybody.

good legs moving played
My legs were not really moving very well. And then she played a good first set.
happy overall played tough

She is one of the two or three players who hits the ball the hardest. She played really well. She hit very hard on both sides, and very long. I couldn't hit deep enough for her to be annoyed, so all credit to her.
